NEW YORK, November 9.-Nearly half

66s. II seems to have cut loose from
the rest OF the market, and Is peeged for
some purpose other than It's intrinsic

The room was filled with all sorts OF CUFF
about Reading similar TO those when the
stock was reported as bought for invest
ment for the Roihschilds, the big German
houses, and to-day Jay Gould was thrust
to the front to do duty for another Lon
don fake story. Probably after the in

get a chance, the true value will be

The argument did not materialiZe. on the
contrary the bad news Of Monday was
emphatically confirmed, and in addition
the situation In Chicago is very dis
couraging, employers arming their men,
arrests of Anarchists, and all kinds OF
stories that tend to keep people nervous
and worried come from there. There is
no compromise between the warning

that the "loye feast" meetings are in

Impro,.m.nt Of Country Towns

Some time ago had occasion 10 call AT
teurion To the shady business transactions
of number Of syndicates Of sharpers,
whose plan Of operations has Deen 10
secure franchises for public improvements
from interior towns and cities, which they
have hawked about in New York city ana
sold 80 syndicates These syndicates
would proceed to build rickety street car
lines or faulty water works systems, with
the sole object 10 view Of selling the stock
and bonds Of the companies. 4he towns
and cities which have granted such fran
chises without thorough investigation oil
the credit OF persons applying for them
have almost invariably been supplied with
faulty systems Of public Improvements.
This sort Of thing has been carried on 70
such an extent as 70 produce a reaction,
and now encouragement has been gwen 20
solid investors 10 enter upon solid lines OF
work
An extensive contractor for the con
struciion of water works remarked: "A
great deal Of solid investment IS taking
place i'm the improvement of towns ana
cities over the country, where within
few years il has been the custom 10 make
such improvements merely for the sale OF
stock and bonds. The day for that kind
OF wildcat work has gone by. Men with
money have discovered that in the con
struction OF solid and substantial public
Improvement in growing places there Is
ample remuneration in a legitimate way
Recently have constructed number OF
waterw0rks systems for syndicates OF
capitalists. who have put their money
in these systems for permanent in
vestment, and could not be induced to sell
a dollar Of the stocks OF bonds. In doing
work for this class Of investors | have
found that they are satisfied with nothing
but the best, indicating therein their pur-
pose 10 make long investments. In some
instances these syndicates have gone into
towns and cities where faulty public i'm
proyements existed, have bought up the
stock Of the old concerns, recognized the
companies, and then reconstructed every
thing This is good work for the entire
country. Cor New York Tribune.
